Depending upon academic performance, students are awarded grades A+,A, A-, B+,
B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F, I, W for each course. These grades indicate the
following levels of performance.
|
A |
Excellent |
|
B |
Good |
|
C |
Adequate |
|
D |
Minimum acceptable |
|
F |
Failure, implying that the student must repeat |
|
I |
Incomplete |
|
W |
Withdrawn |
The Grade point Average of a particular course is calculated by the formula:
GPA = ((M-50)/12) + I where M is the marks obtained in a particular course and
86 > = M >=50
The grade and the threshold levels in terms of marks for each letter grade are
given as follows:
Letter
Marks GPA
Grade:
A+ 90 or
above 4.00
A 86-89
4.00
A-
82-85 3.67-3.92
B+
78-81 3.33-3.58
B
74-77 3.00-3.25
B-
70-73 2.67-2.92
C+
66-69 2.33-2.58
C
62-65 2.00-2.25
C-
58-61 1.67-1.92
D+
54-57 1.33-1.58
D
50-53 1.00-1.25
F 49 or
below 0.00
The grade point average calculation
ensures a continuous scale for the respective grade. The grade issued by AIU
will be final.
Two types of average will be
computed for the grade obtained by each student, the Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA) and the cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
SGPA is the weight-age average of
grade point earned in a semester. The weights are taken as the ratio of course
credits to the total credits taken by the student in the semester.
A student who will taken four
courses in a semester with credit hours of CI,C2,C3 and C4 obtaining grade point
of P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively will score
SGPA = P1 (C1/C) + P2(C2/C)+P3
(C3/C)+P4(C4/C) Where C=C1+C2+C3+C4
